- alkonaut 4y agoYes. That’s fine so long as you never play in person as well, thereby tying a real identity to your pseudonym. Otherwise you can remain pseudonymous (not anonymous) for as long as you want. But there is no way to do a mix of in-person and pseudonymous writing/chess/art/anything with a personal “style”.
- random_kris 4y agoMmmm this could be solved using Zero-Knowledge proofs. When registering pick an elo. Provide a proof that you own the account in that Elo range and then you can create another account that will start in that Elo range.
- alkonaut 4y agoAn account that you never play with doesn't have much value. And as soon as you play one game, thereby revealing your unique playstyle, you have pretty much signed the account with all your previous account names, which also potentially tie into your real identity. So you get ONE pseudonym and then any other account you create are known aliases of that pseudonym. And if you play in person, then any account/pseudonym you ever create are linked to your human identity as well.
